Hydrogen cyanide adds across the triple bond of acetylene to form acrylonitrile, in the presence of CuCl catalyst (Hort, E. V. and Taylor, P. 2003. Acetylene-Derived 365betÓéÀÖ. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)). Other inorganic cyanides and alkynes may react in a similar way. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
